My bad. I see you already posted the trailer was “unknown”.

BTW, Bill, where did you get that trailer? I have Archway Ford Thunderbolt and the decals to do the tow car. Just waiting to get a resin 64 wagon, and a trailer to complement the T Bolt.

Maybe look at a Moebius truck kit, that you can lengthen the chassis on, and add some dual rims and tires?

Thanks guys. I wanted to show one method that I’m using to incorporate aftermarket aluminum wheels to my model. I dig through my wheel backs bin, and find a useful that I can use. Then in order to keep them centered, I use a piece of styrene rod that I can push through the wheel backs. In my case I’m using two different sets. Only because I want the skinny’s up front to fill the wheel well, and not be too far in. After the rod is through, I can glue them together,( not the rod) just the backs. Then I can tailor the rods after the glue dries, to center one end into the aftermarket wheel, and the other end into the front suspension part. I noticed this topic came up on here a few times, so I wanted to do my best to try to show how I did it.

These tires and rims are beautiful works of art. Thanks Scott at Futurattraction.

Getting the engine square in the frame rails. Took some filing to get this old resin bell housing to fit right. Also added a deep sump to the supplied oil pan.

I scratch built an MSD box, and roll bar, and also a tach with shift light.

I added a weld in fuel sump to the stock tank. Also adding a resin pump and filter. Hopefully I have a small fuel pump decal in my bins somewhere? Maybe a BG, or Weldon.

I started this build about a year ago, and put it away when we moved into the new house. I always like the 68 Chevelle, and was constantly looking for a kit online. This was before Revell tooled this kit, and they were really expensive, that is, if you could even find one. Since I had this car in the plans for a long time, I decided to do some extra details on the build. The plan is a blue car, with black interior, and white stripes. The stripes will be from the Revell Germany kit. Just a quick car, that sees track duty on the weekends.

I figured it all out. I had to change it in my password app. Thanks Dave for making the site safer.

I’m sorry but I’m not really that tech savvy.

Hi Dave After updating my phone, I have my password come up as “fill password”. With the update, a new password was generated that’s ridiculously long. I followed the instructions you posted, and my email address is correct. I tried logging in with it, but it just fills my saved password.

Looks fantastic, Bill. The engine, paint, decals are spot on. Also the rear tires fit perfectly under the wheel wells. You did a nice job on this.

Another beautiful build, Anthony. You must get a LOT of bench time in, the way you turn out these machines.

This is a really cool build. I like what you did to modernize the car. Grump would be proud.

The paint and decals look amazing Bill. I can’t wait to see the finished car.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. It was a fun build, even though it gave me a few problems. Sometimes, a kit you have built before will still give you a challenge.

Another car that was just sitting in the box waiting to be assembled. I always wanted to build one of these with the small, Fairlane hub caps. This has the 60 Starliner chassis, and the body was from the old working taillights kit. Interior is from the curbside kit.

I figured so. You know your Mopars pretty well. When I did mine, I tried my hand at removing the interior arm rests, and adding seat belts to operate the windows.

Also, are you planning on removing the side marker lights on the front fenders?

I need to get another one of these kits too. I built a red Hemi Dart with black interior, a while back, and was meaning to get another. I’d like to build one as it came from the factory, in primer with the black front end.

I was going through some started kits, and I found a few that are close to completion. Mostly foiling, and final assembly. Just finished this one up today. I had built this kit before, but man did this one give me some problems. All when I installed the body on the completed frame. I had the radiator support constantly falling off. Had to add a smaller tach, as the one I had wouldn’t clear the windshield. I added some Pro Tech fittings for lug nuts. They didn’t turn out that great, maybe the next time they’ll look better. I think that was the reason I put it on the shelf, now that I think about it.

Does he have a website? I’d definitely like to get some of those headers. They look fantastic.

Shirley Shahan? Looks pretty darn good. Is this the car you were after on eBay? The rear wheel wells look great. I think Revell had the guide lines a bit off on the inner fenders.

I saw your Badman 55. Amazing build you have there, with lots of detail. You put a lot of work into it, and it shows. I was noticing the grill doesn’t fit into the opening on this AMT kit. Plus, the hood has too large of a gap all the way around. But after I glue the radiator support in, it seems that it pulls the fenders together the mm or so it needs to align right. I do have a sealed Revell kit, but I have two of these open AMT kits, so I’ll just make it all work. Not really diving into this one yet, as I have a few cars almost ready for final assembly.
